Advantages
1 The principle: The LEWA variable eccentric drive element is a straight crank drive element with direct transmission of the drive torque from the worm gear via the hollow shaft (1) to the variable eccentric (2). Axial shifting of the skew slotted sliding shaft (3) radially shifts the variable eccentric. The stroke length of the crank shaft correspondingly changes. A reproducible setting from zero to the maximum stroke length is possible

Long service life Low maintenance costs, long service intervals High mechanical efficiency Extremely overload safe Minimum adjusting forces for manual and servo stroke adjustment Linear, fully reproducible precision stroke adjustment Adjustment possible during operation and at rest

Diaphragm pump heads with hydraulically actuated diaphragm

LEWA ecoflow diaphragm pumps are the safe and hermetically tight alternative for medium to high pressures. LEWA diaphragm pump heads present an economical solution for a variety of metering applications. Today, ecologically damaging, dangerous, sensitive or abrasive fluids are metered with zero leakage diaphragm pumps only. Damage of one diaphragm, e. g. by wear, is signalled reliably. In spite of this the pump remains leak-tight and operation can continue for a limited period of time.
suction stroke

Advantages of LEWA diaphragm pump heads

The principle using the M 900 series as an example: The reciprocating plunger displaces hydraulic fluid causing movement of the diaphragm and a like displacement of process fluid. The diaphragm separates hydraulic fluid and the fluid conveyed and seals the operating chamber tightly towards the environment. A pressure limiting valve prevents overload of the pump. The internal leakage at the plunger is balanced by the leakage replenishment valve. Thus the diaphragm always operates in an optimal operating range. This diaphragm control guarantees the very high operational safety of LEWA diaphragm pump heads M 900

Extremely economical Hermetically tight, zero leakage Protected against overload by adjustable pressure limiting valve Sandwich diaphragm with diaphragm condition monitoring system as standard design Durable sandwich diaphragm for minimum maintenance costs Absolutely safe dry operation High metering accuracy Separation of hydraulic fluid and drive element oil Gentle conveying of sensitive fluids

For high pressures M 200 diaphragm pump heads

Refer to page 12 for technical data

High performance pump head series with metal diaphragm for high pressures and high temperatures Diaphragm pumps with metal diaphragms are used when high pressures or temperatures must be handled or for high diffusion resistance e. g. nuclear technology. For maximum security and long diaphragm life, the deflection of the diaphragm is positively limited in both directions, so that faulty operation cannot cause diaphragm overlaod. Additional safety is provided by the sandwich diaphragm with diaphragm monitoring system at pressures up to 1200 bar.

For non-critical fluids: plunger pump heads are mainly used for simple, non-critical fluids

Reliable pump valves

01-99/295.1.eps

Valves for any requirement In addition to the pump head type, the proper valve design is of major importance in the suitability of the pump for the service. LEWAs ecoflow program offers a wide range of valve designs for the most different applications. Count on our decades of experience to assure a correct valve selection. Depending on valve 01-99/301.1.eps size and the corresponding requirements ball-, plate- or cone valves of different materials are used. Ball valves Standard valves for nominal sizes up to 15 mm. Optimal flow characteristics and reliable function even with contaminated fluids. Plate valves Standard valves for nominal sizes 25 mm and up and pressures to 200 bar. Suitable for high stroking frequencies due to the low mass of the plate. Cone valves Standard valves for nominal sizes 25 mm and up and for high pressures.

Correct installation and accessories assure proper function

The trouble-free function of a metering pump depends mainly on correct installation for the application and process fluid characteristics. Properly selected and sized accessories turn the pump into a functional system. Your success is our success please consider our advice. We can also offer duty-matched accessories or a complete, proven skid system with suction and discharge pipe line.

Safety and pressure retaining valves Safety valves They prevent pressure overload of pump and system. Metering pumps are positive displacement devices and always must be protected against dead-heading if there is any possibility of blockage of the discharge line during operation such as sedimentation buildup in the pipeline, accidental closure of a shutoff valve, etc.. Hydraulically actuated diaphragm pumps are protected by a pressure limiting valve integral to their hydraulic circuit. Back pressure valves They prevent unconrolled flow through the pump (over-metering) when due to static or dynamic reasons the pressure at the suction flange is higher than at the discharge flange. Usually the retaining pressures required a low. Condition monitoring Condition monitoring systems allow the monitoring of the pump and the recording and evaluation of suitable physical values. Mobile offline as well as local online systems with continuous data recording and evaluation are possible.

Computer supported pipe line design

Dirt traps Many fluids contain contaminants which can disrupt the function of the pump valves ranging from minor flow fluctuations to complete failure of the metering process. This can be avoided with the installation of a strainer in the suction line.

Pulsation dampeners Metering pumps have a pulsating flow. During each stroke, the column of fluid in the suction and the discharge lines must be accelerated and then decelerated again. LEWA has the know-how and the accessories for an optimum match of pump and system. Pulsation dampening can be required for two reasons: To reduce high, non-permissible pressure fluctuations To create a nearly continuous flow The simplest and most economical way to meet either requirement is the use of pulsation dampeners. The use of a multiplex pump will achieve a similar result.
